Pros

good technical people with some interesting projects, good benefits (although this is being scaled back to match the industry norms), finally working to align executive and line management financial goals

Cons

poor management, stovepiped culture, too many former military brass with no business acumen or training, line management told to be entrepreneurial risk takers but top management are risk averse (protecting a charitable trust fund squashes innovation), continual small staff cuts (trying to stay below the formal reporting requirments to avoid bad press)

Pros

Promotes charity work for it's employees. Some wonderful co-workers. Good facilities. Knowledgeable scientists. Still has pension. Has gym at the main campus.

Cons

Some very arrogant managers who haven't learned that treating others well is important in life. Doesn't seem to promote team work and collaboration. There is team work in theory, but not in reality.
